Chapter 201
"Hello, Auntie. Since everyone is present today, I have something to say." Early in the morning, the
whole family sat at the table for breakfast. Jenna only took some porridge and started speaking in a
solemn tone.
Marissa raised her head and looked at her. Not knowing what her announcement would be, she had
a perplexed gaze.
She did not expect Jenna to be willing toe back on her own.
Naturally, once she was back, Hansen returned to the manor as well!
"Alright, I''m listening." Although she did not prefer to discuss matters over meals, Jenna appeared
determined and firm.
Hansen also lifted his head and took a nce at Jenna.
She was sitting far away from him at the dining table. Her expression was cold and indifferent,
regarding him as invisible air.
What did she want to do?
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
"Auntie, from today onwards, the entire second floor of Green Jade Garden belongs to me only.
Please have everyone else move out. No one should break in without my consent. This will be my
private area," Jenna spoke the words softly but her voice was clear as crystal.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you want the entire second- floor to yourself! That''s
ridiculous," Aria screamed, her face full of disgust.
Hansen lowered his gaze and kept silent on his seat.
"May I ask why you''re doing this?" Marissa asked in confusion with her eyebrows furrowed.
There were about six rooms on the second floor. Other than Hansen''s bedroom, there were also
two guest rooms. Currently, Aria and Minnie lived there. As for the third floor, it was the master
bedroom. Before Trevor''s ident, it had belonged to him and Marissa. But, soon after the
ident, Marissa simply sealed off the third floor and moved to the master bedroom on the first
floor to prevent herself from being sad. The basement was a bar, which was not suitable to stay in.
"Auntie, first of all, I am the heir of Richards Manor. I have my shares in Green Jade Garden.
Naturally, I want to have my own space. Secondly, I don''t want certain people living on the same
floor with me; it makes me feel unsafe. This is my legitimate right, hence I ask you to respect my
decision," Jenna replied tly. Herposure was neither awkward or embarrassed. She was
decisive and firm.
"Mom, are you hearing her? She’s kicking me and Hansen out," Aria argued with a piercing, high-
pitched voice while sheined to Marissa.
Marissa''s face darkened. How could she not understand Jenna? Jenna did not want to see Aria,
therefore she would get as far away from her as possible. As a woman, how could she not
understand her feelings?
However, the first floor was mainly upied by the living room. Although there were three or four
rooms, they were not as huge andfortable as the ones on the second floor. In fact, the rooms
were next to the servants'' chambers, making it inconvenient to act as they pleased. Would Aria
agree to this?
''Auntie, what I said today is not a negotiation but a decision of mine. The reason I''m telling you now
is that I should respect you as an elder. At the same time, you are also the heiress of Richards
Manor, thus I deemed it necessary to inform beforehand." Jenna saw Marissa being in a dilemma
as she spoke. It seemed that Marissa had not fully registered her decision and did not know what to
do. It was expected that she would not agree to it. However, Jenna stood her ground and spoke
calmly.
"Mom, did you hear her? This woman is too arrogant. She is divorced from Hansen but still dares to
act up in Richards Manor. She''s terrible." Aria was not stupid. She had guessed Jenna''s intention,
which was clearly to kick her out. However, she was the one who was marrying Hansen and she
would be the Young Madam of Green Jade Garden in the future. Why should she be chased away
by this b*tch?
Besides that, now that she was pregnant with Hansen''s baby, she should have the most powerful
voice in this household. Why should she, a precious, protected, pregnant woman be kicked out?
Jenna was asking for too much!
Jenna merely smiled coldly. She slid a hand into her pocket and took out a few sheets of paper. She
then opened it, showed it to everyone on the table, and said calmly, "Look at this carefully. This is a
legal document stating my inheritance of the manor. It had long been notarized and the manor is
now under my name. In fact, I have consulted awyer long ago and he told me that I have the right
to upy the entire second floor. Today, I''m just informing you, not discussing. I hereby solemnly
dere that I want to have the second floor all to myself. Now, please get the hint and move all your
belongings after the meal. After all, we would not want to be aughing stock. I wonder how
the people would react if they found out that we quarreled over such things. I have hired a servant
to clean the house and a bodyguard to watch the door, hence I hope that we all respect each other
and not fight over this matter anymore."
After she finished speaking, she took the papers and waved them in her hand. She then smiled and
put it back into her pocket.
She was obviously trying to drive people away but she had made that known in such a tactful
manner.
Aria''s nostrils red. Pointing a finger at Jenna, she yelled as she looked at Hansen, "Hansen, look
at her doing whatever she wants, forcing everyone to listen to her. She is going to drive you and me
away. Say something."
Hansen continued to eat breakfast at his own leisure pace, drinking sses of milk one after
another.
He was indifferent to Jenna''s decision. In fact, he had no objections at all.
Hearing Aria screaming bloody murder at him, he casually picked up a slice of bread on the table
and took a big bite. Chewing it, he said vaguely, "I''m in no ce to speak, I''m not thendlord.
Unfortunately, I can''t have a say in this.”
Aria''s anger grew as she heard his response. It was apparent; he was taking Jenna''s side. He
wanted to kick her out too. Instantly, she faced Marissa and cried with tears in her eyes, her nose
running. She pleaded, "Mom, you have to help me. I still have your grandson in my belly. I''m used to
sleeping in Hansen''s room but now she''s trying to kick me out. Where can I possibly move to?”
After that, she took a tissue to wipe her tears. Her face was full of resentment, she looked awful.
Aria was sitting right next to Marissa and her crying made Marissa feel helpless. She patted her on
the shoulder andforted, "Aria, stop crying, it''s not good for the baby. Don''t worry, take your
time."
While she spoke, she looked at Jenna and tried to persuade her, "Jenna, I know you are angry and
you also have your rights and decisions. But, you can''t do this without putting yourself in our shoes.
This ground floor is too humid. Although the room at the south wing isn''t small, it''s not well
renovated. It''s inconvenient for Aria to live on the first floor as a pregnant woman. Although you
have the rights to Richards Manor, you can''t have the final word. Don''t youthink?”
Marissa''s tone was as gentle as possible and her speech was considerately polite.
"So, Auntie, do you want to redistribute the assets now and rify the respective ownership rights?"
Jenna replied, "It is clearly written in Hansen''s inheritance papers that the second floor, the
Richards Group''s gym, and the main house of Ink Garden will be handed over to me after Grandma
passes away. It is written clearly in ck and white. I think you would understand what I mean
here."
As soon as these words were spoken, there were gasps and widened eyes in the room.
Vivian actually gave Jenna the ancestral property of the Richards family- the priceless Ink Garden.
This was the most valuable property in Richards Manor. Not to mention, it was also the center of
power of the Richards Manor. This was the greatest and most valuable inheritance, what had Vivian
meant by doing this?
Could it be that she was too old to think straight or did Jenna manipte her? It was unbelievable
that she was so trusted by Vivian to the point where she would do this.
Marissa was so shocked that her jaw dropped and she cursed Vivian inwardly for being so biased.
This property should have belonged to her son but instead, it was given to this woman who did not
share theirst name. Now that Aria was pregnant, Hansen had to marry her. However, the most
important inheritance in Richards Group was given to Jenna. Those properties would no longer
belong to the Richards family. This should have been given to Hansen. Vivian must not be thinking
straight to side with an outsider.
Aria was burning in jealousy.
She did everything she could to marry Hansen but currently, the most important property of
Richards Group had been given to Jenna. What was in it for her to marry at this point?
Even the second floor of the Green Jade Garden was Jenna''s. Where would she live after she gets
married into the family? If Grandma Richards really wanted to make it up to Jenna, there were so
many other vis in Richards Manor that she could grant her. Why did she have to do this? Ink
Garden was the center of power and politics. She wondered how she would stand in Richards
Manor in the future.
Moreover, in this way, it was almost impossible to get rid of Jenna. Judging the current situation,
Aria was fortunate to not be driven away by her!
What was this? Was there anything worse than this?
Anger and jealousy overwhelmed Aria. Her vision went ck and she almost fell.
"Larry, help Miss McAdams onto the sofa." Marissa saw Aria''s reddened face and her shaking
stance. She was worried about the child in her belly, therefore she hurriedly called Larry over to
help.
Larry rushed over and helped Aria onto the sofa.
Hansen finally finished his breakfast. He stood up slowly as if nothing had happened. "It''s getting
late, I''m going to work." He was about to leave.
"Don''t leave, Mr. Richards." Jenna stopped him in time. She took out an envelope from the bag and
handed it to him. She looked at him and said inly, "Mr. Richards, starting today, I''m resigning."
Resignation? He was shocked.
"No," he quickly rejected without even thinking about it.
"There''s no option for you to decline. I''m quitting." She snorted and stated as a matter-of-fact, "It''s
not my concern whether you agreed to my resignation. This is final and I only signed a one-year
contract with yourpany."
"But, your contract has not yet expired," he hurriedly retorted, panic evident on his face.
"So what? I am willing to bear the consequences of breaching the contract. Please charge me
however you like. But may I warn you, don''t forget that you forced me into signing the contract. My
lawyer told me that it can be regarded as invalid if it was not signed on the principle of mutual
consent from both parties. Even if I breached the contract, that means nothing. ording to the
agreement, I''ll just pay you somepensation. This is not illegal and not a crime," she replied.
